Sunday was the last day for Caberfae Peaks. The snow started out very firm hard packed groomed snow. But within and hour or so the sun did its magic and softened the snow to be near perfect spring snow.
Also Boyne Mtn was blowing snow on Saturday night into Sunday morning. Hopefully I will...
I had an opportunity to ski mid week and got a great deal on a lift ticket to Boyne Mtn so i used a personal ay and made the almost 4 hour trip north. When I left home the temp was 56 degrees and not a spot of snow on the ground. Around 3 hours into the trip as I got close to Gaylord things...
Boyne resorts had once again brought back a deal in Michigan if you have any season pass that works at a Michigan ski area you can get a $25 lift ticket. While I normally would have gone to Caberfae Peaks the $25 ticket and around another 30-40 min drive to ski somewhere different would be well...
Boyne Mtn is not done blowing snow. They have said they want to try and ski deep into May. They have around 24 feet of base on a run called Victor as of right now. They are going for Killington of the Mid-West

On Sunday I wasn’t sure what Caberfae Peaks would be like after a brief warm up and refreeze. Well it was firm in the morning and got real nice with the afternoon sun. You can also see when new trails will take shape in the next few years in the first pic.
After the best snow in a couple of seasons last week, the warm air came in in Friday and Saturday and then a hard freeze on Sunday with a high of 9 degrees lest very firm snow. But a little help was coming at the end of the day Under the snow squall is Crystal Mtn about 25 miles away to the...
Skied Caberfae Peaks on Saturday and I can say the snow was the best snow I have skied on in a least two seasons. Natural snow along with cold weather and SMI Polecats have made for some really nice packed powder. The parking lot was full, but as always they have two people working every lift...
While I did ski at Mt Brighton on 12/24/24 for a couple of hours to see how thongs went for me, I would call that my preseason and I officially started my season at my home hill Caberfae Peaks.
My Daughter and myself left the Ann Arbor area around 5am to make the 3.5hr drive north to...
